Chapter 713


    Chapter 713 Like Dogs


    Turning to her side, Rayna picked up one of the creatures and felt for its paw before pressing it gently.


    As it turned out, the creatures did have ws, but they were retractable ones.


    Rayna yed with their ws for a brief moment beforementing, “It''s just like a cat''s ws.”


    Fluffy gazed at Rayna and purred before leaning forward to lick her hand. It then rubbed its head


    against her palm.


    “Its fur is quite smooth.” Rayna petted Fluffy and noted that its fur feltfortable to the touch. “Are


    they noisy at night?” Rayna asked Robin.


    Rayna thought for a moment before answering Rayna, “Sometimes. They seem to be very sensitive to


    the environment. A little movement is enough to alert them. They''re kind of like dogs.”


    “Is that so?” Rayna picked Fluffy up and ced it on herp. Fluffy immediately curled up on herp


    without making a fuss.


    At that sight, Furry also leaped onto Rayna''sp and cuddled up next to Fluffy.

    Curtis was greeted by the heartwarming scene upon return. Halting at the doorway, he shot the two


    creatures a cold look before advancing into the room.


    Upon seeing Curtis enter the room, Robin quickly shot up from the couch and stood to the side.


    Rayna looked at Robin before following his line of sight to look at Curtis. “Are you done with the call?”


    “Mm-hmm,” Curtis hummed in response as his gaze fell onto the two creatures. “Why did you bring


    them here?” he asked Rayna with a gentle tone.


    “They came here on their own,” Rayna replied without giving it much thought. “Robin told me that they


    have ws. I didn''t even notice that before this. I only found out just now that they have retractable cat-


    like ws.”


    “They''re probably felines, but as for what species they are, I couldn''t find anything on the inte.”


    Curtis picked up a mug and poured himself some water before taking a sip to soothe his throat.


    A crease formed between Rayna''s brows when she heard what Curtis had said. She lowered her head


    to look at the two creatures. “Could you fes be rare exotic animals? How can there be absolutely no


    information about you?”


    As soon as Rayna finished speaking, Furry stood up from herp and sniffed the area near Rayna''s


    mouth and nose.


    “Does my breath smell?” Rayna furrowed her brows in confusion when she saw Furry raising its head


    and sniffing her breath. Cupping her hand around her mouth, Rayna huffed out a breath and sniffed.


    “No, it doesn''t. What are you sniffing at, Furry?”


    Rayna touched the tip of Furry''s nose affectionately. In response, the creaturey back down on her


    lap.


    “Oh, by the way, Cassidy said that she had prepared some medications for me.” Rayna turned to


    Curtis. “She said that we can try it out.”


    “Let''s go toke o look.” Curtis ploced the mug on the toble ond got up. When he sow thot Royno


    remoined on the couch, he osked, “Are you noting?”


    “I''ll poss. It''s not like I con see cleorly. I wouldn''t be oble to see onything even if I go. I might os well


    stoy here ond ploy with these two,” Royno stoted lightly.


    Heoring thot, Curtis did not insist thot shee olong. “I''ll go hove o look.”


    “Okoy,” Royno replied. With thot, he turned to leove the room once ogoin.


    Robin stood oside wordlessly, keeping his heod lowered. When Royno sow thot, she osked, “Why


    oren''t you following him?”


    “I''m not fomilior with the herbs Ms. Cossidy uses. A lot of the herbs she hos here ore rore, ond I con''t


    even tell whot they ore. There''s no point in me going.” Robin smiled sheepishly os he scrotched his


    heod.


    Upon noticing how he wos constontly storing ot the two creotures on her lop, Royno could not help


    osking, “Why do you look so worried?”


    Robin froze momentorily when he heord the question before onswering, “They hove clows...”


    Royno detected o hint of obnormolity in Robin''s tone. “Is it reolly only becouse of the clows?” Royno


    probed gently.


    She did not think so.


    “If you dore lie to my foce, I''ll report you to Curtis when hees bock. Then you''ll be in trouble.”


    Royno feigned o serious look os she glonced ot Robin. “Think corefully, Mr. Yeost.”


    Royno''s serious foce wos o rore sight to behold. Ponicking, Robin furrowed his brows hesitontly, cleorly


    troubled.


    Upon heoring Robin''s sigh, Royno lowered her goze to ploy with the two creotures on her lop insteod of


    storing ot the mon.


    “Mr. Foymon soid thot these two hove on unidentified origin. Besides... one of them hos o microchip.


    Mr. Foymon suspected thot they hove been intentionolly plonted by your side by someone.” Toking o


    deep breoth, Robin told Royno everything in one breoth. He would turn to look ot the door from time to


    time, feoring thot Curtis would return.


    When Royno heord Robin''s onswer, she soid, “This does sound like something he would soy, but,


    microchip, you soy? Is thot true?”


    “It is. I''ve olreody token o photo of it ond verified it with o relioble source. My informont told me thot


    most people will implont o microchip beneoth their pets'' skin with the intention of trocking them.” As he


    spoke, Robin tossed o coreful look ot Royno. He potted his chest ond sighed in relief ofter seeing her


    colm expression. Good. She doesn''t seem upset.


    Royno begon feeling oround the two creotures'' bodies, but without knowing the locotion of the


    microchip, she could not find onything. When Robin sow whot she wos doing, he figured thot she wos


    trying to look for the microchip. Just os he wos obout to step forword ond help her, he cought sight of


    Curtis returning.


    “Let''s go take a look.” Curtis ced the mug on the table and got up. When he saw that Rayna


    remained on the couch, he asked, “Are you noting?”


    “I''ll pass. It''s not like I can see clearly. I wouldn''t be able to see anything even if I go. I might as well


    stay here and y with these two,” Rayna stated lightly.


    Hearing that, Curtis did not insist that shee along. “I''ll go have a look.”


    “Okay,” Rayna replied. With that, he turned to leave the room once again.


    Robin stood aside wordlessly, keeping his head lowered. When Rayna saw that, she asked, “Why


    aren''t you following him?”


    “I''m not familiar with the herbs Ms. Cassidy uses. A lot of the herbs she has here are rare, and I can''t


    even tell what they are. There''s no point in me going.” Robin smiled sheepishly as he scratched his


    head.


    Upon noticing how he was constantly staring at the two creatures on herp, Rayna could not help


    asking, “Why do you look so worried?”


    Robin froze momentarily when he heard the question before answering, “They have ws...”


    Rayna detected a hint of abnormality in Robin''s tone. “Is it really only because of the ws?” Rayna


    probed gently.


    She did not think so.


    “If you dare lie to my face, I''ll report you to Curtis when hees back. Then you''ll be in trouble.”


    Rayna feigned a serious look as she nced at Robin. “Think carefully, Mr. Yeast.”


    Rayna''s serious face was a rare sight to behold. Panicking, Robin furrowed his brows hesitantly, clearly


    troubled.


    Upon hearing Robin''s sigh, Rayna lowered her gaze to y with the two creatures on herp instead of


    staring at the man.


    “Mr. Faymon said that these two have an unidentified origin. Besides... one of them has a microchip.


    Mr. Faymon suspected that they have been intentionally nted by your side by someone.” Taking a


    deep breath, Robin told Rayna everything in one breath. He would turn to look at the door from time to


    time, fearing that Curtis would return.


    When Rayna heard Robin''s answer, she said, “This does sound like something he would say, but,


    microchip, you say? Is that true?”


    “It is. I''ve already taken a photo of it and verified it with a reliable source. My informant told me that


    most people will imnt a microchip beneath their pets'' skin with the intention of tracking them.” As he


    spoke, Robin tossed a careful look at Rayna. He patted his chest and sighed in relief after seeing her


    calm expression. Good. She doesn''t seem upset.


    Rayna began feeling around the two creatures'' bodies, but without knowing the location of the


    microchip, she could not find anything. When Robin saw what she was doing, he figured that she was


    trying to look for the microchip. Just as he was about to step forward and help her, he caught sight of


    Curtis returning.


    “What''s wrong?” Curtis shot Robin a sharp re.


    Stepping aside, Robin admitted with a soft voice, “Mrs. Faymon asked me about the two creatures. I


    told her about the microchip.”


    Curtis'' expression darkened immediately at those words. He turned to Robin and shot thetter a stern


    re.


    “Don''t intimidate Mr. Yeast all the time,” Rayna said when she vaguely saw that Curtis was ring at


    Robin. “I was the one who forced him to tell me. It''s not his fault.”


    Seeing that Rayna was defending him, Robin cast a grateful look at the woman.


    “Cassidy said that we''ll have to wait until the afternoon before the medicine is ready.” As he spoke,


    Curtis bent down and tried to shoo the two creatures away but was stopped by Rayna.


    “What are you doing? They''refortable lying here.” Rayna red at Curtis and warned, “They''re just


    two small animals. No matter how capable they are, they can''t possibly outsmart human beings, can


    they? Why can''t you ept them?”


    “It''s not that I won''t ept them. It''s just that—” Curtis attempted to exin in a soft voice when he


    noticed Rayna''s annoyance.


    “You''re worried that they''ll identally hurt me, right?” Rayna cut him off before he could finish his


    sentence.


    “They''re animals, after all. They don''t know how to control themselves,” Curtis quickly exined.


    Yet, his mind wandered back to what had happened when Rayna was trapped in the living room of the


    mansion two days ago.


    Subconsciously, Curtis believed that the two creatures had something to do with the thing inside


    Rayna''s body. s, he had no solid proof, so his thoughts were merely baseless spections.


    Rayna was rendered speechless. She didn''t know how to refute his statement, so she changed the


    subject. “Did you see what those herbs look like?”


    Curtis took a seat across from Rayna and crossed his legs. He was about to re at the two creatures


    to make them leave when Rayna''s question interrupted him.


    “Everything''s inside the cauldron. There''s not much to be seen. Most of them had already dissolved.”


    Curtis remembered the list of herbs that he had gotten from Cassidy a moment ago. He quickly handed


    the list to Robin. “Look up the names and effects of the herbs on this list and then inform me afterward.”


    Taking the slip of paper from Curtis, Robin hummed in response and turned to leave the room.
